Everything but the kitchen sink

Wooof just gave me his Hello Kitty USB stick and said: “Latest ads all scanned boss, post ’em up, I’m off to Italy for the weekend.” “What kind of ads are they?” I asked the cat. “Oh, a bit of this, a bit of that. Everything but the kitchen sink really.” “And how am I supposed to put a theme to them?” I said. “There are categories and tags and witty comments to consider. We can’t all go swanning off to Italy you know.” “How should I know,” replied the cat, already packing his case and searching for his Aviators. “You’re the editor. Just call the post ‘Everything But The Kitchen Sink’, or something.” “Righto,” I said. “Ha, be funny if there really was a kitchen sink ad on your USB stick.” The cat looked at me and sighed. “That would be just ridiculous. Right, I’m off. Plane to catch. Don’t work too hard this weekend. Miow and ciao baby!”

Bye Wooof.

Door slams.

Cue one inserted Hello Kitty USB stick into the TVTA hard drive, and I present, a mixed bag of retro adverts, everything but the kitchen sink…

Hello TVTA, Wooof has done well! Did he cut and “PAISTE” the cymbal ads? (Paiste is another well known brand of cymbals 😀 ) I am a keyboard player and used to be a volunteer Youth Worker. The youth services department of my local council held Music Workshops to teach the youngsters and I was one of their tutors. We had a drum kit and it had a few Zildjian cymbals. Sadly they took such a beating they began to fall apart. The ones we owned were made by winding a wire out in a spiral that formed the shape of the cymbal – the damage caused the wire to unwind so we just had a coil of wire! Another great collectiom.
